I work on mathematical physics — which I interpret broadly as ‘math that could be of interest in physics, and physics that could be of interest in math’. I’m especially interested in nn-categories and their applications. I’ve spent a lot of time explaining these subjects on the web. You can see a sampling below. For a lot more stuff, see my website.

This is my personal web. You can see some papers? I’m working on here.

A history of n-categorical physics, with Aaron Lauda, to appear in proceedings of Deep Beauty: Mathematical Innovation and the Search for an Underlying Intelligibility of the Quantum World, ed. Hans Halvorson. Draft version.
